ADOR, the agency behind NewJeans, has officially responded to the ultimatum issued by the group's members.

In a statement released on November 27th, ADOR said, "This statement is in response to the actions taken after the artist's formal notice," and emphasized that they hope Belift Lab will take Hanni's situation seriously and show mutual respect.

The agency added, "We have been careful to avoid unnecessary controversy over this matter, but despite our efforts, the issue remains unresolved. Now, we are sharing our stance." ADOR also pointed out that Belift Lab's version of events is "completely different" from Hanni’s account.

ADOR clarified the situation, explaining that Hanni clearly remembers a comment from a Belift Lab member on May 27th, telling her to "ignore it" or "just pass by."

The agency argued that it is unfair to ask Hanni to recall the entire situation in detail, especially since it was a brief moment.

The agency expressed full trust in Hanni’s words, stating, "We deeply regret the harm Hanni has experienced." ADOR urged Belift Lab to take her injury seriously and demonstrate respect, while avoiding further controversy regarding ADOR's artists.

Earlier, on November 13th, all members of NewJeans sent a formal notice to ADOR, demanding the return of former CEO Min Hee Jin, a thorough investigation into internal HYBE documents, and an apology from the manager who told Hanni to "ignore it."

The members also made it clear that if serious breaches of their contracts were not fixed, they would consider terminating their agreements.

The notice was received by ADOR on November 14th, with a response deadline set for November 28th.

Kwon Eun Bi is living the dream — solo success, tons of ads, and now… a building under her name!

On April 21, a new episode was uploaded on the Donghaemul and Baekdu Eunhyuk YouTube channel.

In the video, Kwon Eun Bi opened up about her viral Waterbomb moment, her career boost, and her big investment move.

The former IZ*ONE member confidently said, “Is there a Waterbomb goddess I feel competitive with? Honestly, not even one. I don’t care. Aren’t I the best?” Eunhyuk backed her up, saying, “The original has a different level. I can’t argue with that.”

Eun Bi also talked about how nervous she was at the time. “That was my first festival in Seoul. I was alone on such a big stage, and I was so nervous. You never know when success will hit. I didn’t think that performance would blow up,” she said.

Surprisingly, she didn’t feel the buzz while performing. “I was on stage around 1 PM, and there were still lots of empty seats. I kept thinking, ‘Is this okay? What if it goes badly?’ But when I got home, the reaction just exploded. I was shocked!”

Eunhyuk asked, “You must’ve gotten a lot of ads after that, right?” She replied with a smile, “Yes, I did a lot of ads after Waterbomb.” KCM chimed in and teased, “You even bought a building with all that money!”

Eun Bi laughed and admitted, “I was already making money before, but after Waterbomb, the income ratio felt like 3 to 7. I got tons of commercial deals and events. And since I’m working alone now, I don’t need to share my income with group members, so that helped a lot.”

Netizens are cheering her on, calling her a true queen of the solo era — with business smarts to match her talent!
